Checkout monitoring

Right now, you'd find out your checkout broke from a customer.

Ghost Shopper walks your store the way a real buyer does: product page, add to cart, shipping, payment. Over and over, all night. The moment a step fails, you get an alert with a screenshot of exactly what broke.

Your store doesn't go down. It goes quiet.

Outages are obvious. These aren't. The storefront loads perfectly, traffic looks normal, and nothing reaches the order screen.

A theme update

A tweak to the cart template drops the checkout button on mobile. Desktop looks fine, so nobody notices.

An app conflict

A newly installed app injects a script that throws on the shipping step. Only certain carts hit it.

A payment gateway

Credentials expire or a provider has a partial outage. Cards decline for reasons no dashboard shows you.

A discount rule

A campaign code collides with an existing rule and every cart using it errors at the final step.

How it works

No script on your storefront, no code to install, nothing to slow your site down. Ghost Shopper works from the outside, exactly like a customer.

Point it at your store

Pick the product and the flow you want watched. Setup takes about two minutes.

It shops, on a schedule

A real browser loads the page, adds to cart, fills shipping and reaches payment, as often as your plan allows.

You hear about it first

When a step fails, you get an email or Slack message naming the step, with a screenshot attached.

Alerts you can act on

Not "something is wrong." The exact step, the exact error, and a picture of the page.

Questions

Does it place real orders on my store?

No. Ghost Shopper runs your checkout in test mode, or stops immediately before payment is captured. You choose which when you set up a flow. No real orders, no real charges, and nothing to clean up in your admin.

Will it wake me up over nothing?

A failed step is retried before anything is sent, so a single slow page load won't page you. You only hear from us when a failure repeats.

Does it slow my store down?

No. There is no script to add to your storefront and no app embedded in your pages. Ghost Shopper visits from outside like any other visitor.

What can it watch besides checkout?

Any flow a customer can walk: login, search, subscription signup, gift cards, a specific discount code. Checkout is just the one that costs you money fastest.

What if I need help setting it up?

Email us and a person answers. On the Plus plan that person will also reach out when they see something odd on your store before you do.
